Tyres are Free !!!!!

Sounds like youll get your money's worth there Tony.
Ill have to come watch ya and get a "Hot Ride" some point soon, hopefully after Uni

What's the cost of the passenger seat spinking??

Dunno i'll email and ask as i cant find were it says.

I'd be happy to passenger with you; I've even got my own helmet.
Cheers, Chris.

Email i got from the people who run the day.

Hi Tony,


Is this for the drift day? If so, passengers are free, but no passengers are allowed during twinning.


Best regards,


Al

So, what's twinning??
Oh, & even though they say there's no charge for passengers, I'd expect to make a contribution to your costs.
Also, isn't this more Lichfield than Stoke?

Cheers, Chris.

Isnt twinning where 2 cars drift at the same time?

Not sure to be honest just read on driftworks about it being in stoke.

Thanks for the link; looks fun. If it's at Curborough, which I think it is, it's near Lichfield, up the A38 towards Burton, then turn off left to Fradley.

Cheers, Chris.

There is no postcode for the track, but if you type in Lichfield into your satnav, that will get you pretty close, then directions are head towards the A38 up to which you can now follow north to the Fradley Park turn, which is pretty much the next one, then from the A38 Fradley Park turn off, then turn off (left) towards the circuit which is signposted with brown signs.
The track entrance is on the right after about 50 yards and is very obvious, at least in daylight. After the gates, follow the access road as it passes to the left of the toilet block then takes a very sharp right and heads to the camping / unloading area behind the pits.

I guess the passenger seat is gone then before I got chance to reply Oh well.

I'll defer to you, Jaci. I get other opportunities for motorsport.

Cheers, Chris.

It's ok Chris - got a lot on at the mo inc revising for finals, hence not replying. I'll get other opportunities Exams come first!

the passenger seat isnt taken going there and as for the day its a open seat dont mind taking anybody down/up there with me

Wait till ive got me car and ill let you know if im coming or not.

How do i book days at oulton? Cant find it on their website.

http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/event-details.asp?ProductID=4604&msvcode=bdc

In there somewere matey.

BUT for what you will pay at oulton park £125 i thin youd get better seatime and better practice at

A--santa pod--- £60 and £60 in fuel
b--Stoke-- £65 and about £40 in fuel.

I can help with tyres and wheels matey

swish. Stoke it will be then. Any date to have it booked by? I reckon ill be coming along then

What gear do i need to bring if im going to stoke?

Wheels + tyres.
Jack.
Basic tools.
Oil, spare fuel, water/coolant, brake fluid.

Anything else?

Booked and payed.

I have passenger seats for lifts free. My back seats are still in the car. My brother and a friend have priority cause ive promised them dibs but if theyre not coming seats are free.

If you have people comming with you in your car matey you will not be taking many wheels.

I dont think anybody is comming with me so i have a spare seat if anybody wants to pop along.

Pritty much what you have put down on the list is what you need to take matey.

You comming up with me and chris or you making your own way there???

If you are do you want to meet in Tescos Bidston

I can fit 4 or 6 wheels with 2 passengers so i should be ok. I hope anyway!

Ill start collecting stuff in the week ready then. Ill have to dig my jack out.

Yeah im up for a convoy. What time?

Dunno trying to find the place.

It says 1hr 55 mins so as we will be going through rushour i'd say leave about 6-30 this way we can be delayed.

What do you think peps.

Didnt get many as i was trying to sort my broken car out again :smash::smash:

The lads in the bmws :worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy:












Not a bad little track good entry speeds can be had into the 2 main corners.

there was a slight off aswell into a ditch




I'll try and figure out how to convert the vids i have and get them up tonight

Any Crashes down there?

Thats probably not the right thing to ask at all. I hate people who watch motorsport to see crashes. If you havnt got anything good to say dont say anything at all.

But if you had actually bothered to read the above post youd have answered your own question. Which says to me your just posting so you can have a big number next to your name. Why? Have you got nothing better to do?


I had a really good day today although i was a bit shit. Thanks for the tuiton tony, i just need seat time really until i can get my confidence up to start nailing it and still be smooth without ending up backwards all the time.

I did manage a few skids towards the end of the day, with a bit of a handbrake in and a clutch kick and some power over but nothing special.

the BMW drivers Absolutely nuts.

I dont watch motorsport just to see crashes and i dont care about the number next to my name.
I was asking about crashes wondering about what the track was like whether there was the danger of crashing.

Fella let his missis have a go of his skyline

skyling+woman+non drifter woman=




Uplaoding some vids (non crashie)

Thats fair enough but as all you had to ask was about crashes it came across that way, only made worse by the fact your answer was posted above.

=Bad Idea

just found this. A vid of curborough for anyone interested.

I dont think anyone was that quick round there though.

And he still managed better skids then me!
